I thought I had installed all "proprietary" codecs now via double-clicking some of my videos, and Totem asking me to install packages. However there's a kind of videos which don't prompt me to install packages and are not being played by Totem (they used to work on previous versions of Ubuntu, don't remember how), they just give the error Internal data stream error, and nothing gets printed in the console if I run totem from it.
So how to install flv codecs for Totem in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
I've tried with the following:
$ sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-*
However, it gives this error:
